SEAT BELTS
The lap portion of the belt should be worn
as low as possible across the hips, not the
waist. Position the diagonal part of the belt
between the breasts and to the side of the
abdomen. Ensure that the seat belt is not
slack or twisted.
If you have any concerns about wearing
seat belts, contact your doctor.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
The driver’s seat belt includes a buckle
sensor, to detect when the buckle is
latched.
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened,
an indicator light on the DIS will
illuminate.
In addition, if the seat belt is unfastened
when the vehicle is in Drive mode and the
vehicle’s is moving at a speed greater than
5mph (8 km/h), an audible chime will sound
for 15 seconds as a belt reminder.
SEAT BELT TENSIONERS
WARNING: Once the seat belt
tensioners have been activated, they
must be replaced. After any collision,
always have the air bags, seat belt
assembly and any associated components
checked and, if necessary, replaced by a
Karma Service Provider.
The seat belts are equipped with
tensioners that activate in conjunction with
the air bags and provide additional
protection in the event of a severe frontal
impact on your vehicle.
The tensioners automatically retract the
seat belt, reducing any slack in both the lap
and diagonal portions of the belts.
Following an accident in which the
tensioners have been activated, the seat
belts continue to function as restraints and
must be worn if you drive your Revero.
CARING FOR SEAT BELTS
WARNING: Regularly check the
condition of all belts. Replace seat
belts if you notice any damage to the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanisms or
buckles.
Three tests for checking seat belts:
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing nearest the buckle a quick pull.
The buckle should remain securely
locked.
2. With the belt unfastened, unreel the
webbing to its limit. Check that
unreeling is free from snags and visually
check the webbing for wear. Allow the
webbing to retract, checking that
retraction is smooth and complete.
3. With the webbing half unreeled, hold
the tongue plate and pull forward
quickly. The mechanism must lock
automatically and prevent further
unreeling.
